Although many [[Nepal|Nepalese]] arrived in Australia in the 1970s, numerous Nepalese arrived and settled in the country during the first decade of 21st century. ==Overview== ===Lhotshampa Refugees=== About 5,000 [[Lhotshampa]]s or Bhutanese Nepalis who are living in various refugee camps of Nepal are being resettled in Australia.

The instability caused by the Maoist insurgency in Nepal, has led Nepalese students to turn to Australia in search of academic qualification and excellence. The figures from the federal Government’s Australian Education International (AEI) in 2007 show that in the 12 months to September, commencements by students from Nepal increased by 504 per cent, or 2884 students.<ref>[http://www.theaustralian.com.au/higher-education/huge-increase-in-nepalese-students/story-e6frgcjx-1111114904963: The Australian - Huge increase in Nepalese students]</ref> AEI says that Nepal is Australia’s 11th biggest source country. It has the second highest growth in commencements after India. The surge in commencements helped enrolments of Nepalese students to skyrocket by 290 per cent to 7569 students in September, when the overall increase in international enrolments was 7.1 per cent. ==Notable Nepalese Australians== * '''Deepak Bista''' - Winner of the 2010 pride of Australia Award for fair go medal. * '''[[Dichen Lachman]]''' - Australian actress * '''Indra Ban OAM''' - The Order of Australia 2011 ==See also== * [[List of Nepal-related topics]] * [[Non Resident Nepali]] * [[Nepalese New Zealander]] ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== * [http://www.NepaleseAbroad.com/ NepaleseAbroad.com]: Nepalese Worldwide Info and Directory based in Australia * [http://www.naa.org.au/ Nepalese Australian Association] * [http://aussienepali.com/ AussieNepali.com: All about Nepali news and events in Australia] * [http://www.nepaleseabroad.com/2009/06/shesh-ghale/ Nepalese Abroad: Shesh Gale], Melbourne Institute of Technology graduate said to be the richest Nepalese person living abroad {{Nepalese diaspora}} {{Asian Australians}} {{Ethnic groups in Australia}} [[Category:Australian people of Nepalese descent| ]] [[Category:Nepalese diaspora|Australia]] [[Category:Immigration to Australia]]'
